It was bright and early when you stepped out of your home, suitcase dangling in one hand and a thermos in the other. You were fortunate to live close to work. Tracen Academy stood proudly in the center of Fuchū, but that meant more congestion the closer you got.

Traffic lights beam a red, yellow, blue with precision. Some Uma Musume rush past you to make it to class on time, while children were escorted by their parents to the neighboring primary school.
